Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
• 1 (10.5 ounces) package of firm silken tofu
• 2 cups water
• Two tablespoons of light soy sauce
• Two tablespoons mirin
• One teaspoon of dashi granules
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour or as needed
• vegetable oil for frying
• Two green onions, chopped
Directions
- Put a paper towel between the tofu block and the towel. Place a plate and weigh it down with a 3- to 5-pound object. After 15 minutes of pressing, drain the liquid and toss it away.
- In the meantime, put water, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi in a pot. Over medium heat, bring to a boil. Heat has been removed; set aside.
- Remove the plate, paper towels, and the weight. Make 3/4-inch chunks of tofu. Tofu is given a thin dusting of flour in a bowl.
- Tofu should be fried in hot oil for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. If necessary, fry in batches to prevent crowding the pot. Add sauce to a serving dish with the fried tofu. Add some green onions on top.
